Updating Multiple Computers Using SmartSystems Console
You can use the SmartSystems console to update the operating system
or system software on your mobile computer. The console is part of
SmartSystems Foundation and is available from the Intermec web site
through the Intermec Developer Library (IDL). Before you can update
your mobile computer, you need:
• SmartSystems Foundation. To download SmartSystems
Foundation, go to www.intermec.com/SmartSystems and click
the Downloads tab.
• the SmartSystems bundles you want to install. The SmartSystems
bundle contains the Image Update package file. These
SmartSystems bundles are available from the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com. Go to Support > Downloads.
• a Provisioning license.
To update the mobile computer using SmartSystems Foundation:
1 Open the SmartSystems console.
2 Make sure the SmartSystems console and the mobile computer are
on the same subnet and they are connected wirelessly or through
Ethernet.
3 Make sure the mobile computer is in a powered dock or that power
management is disabled.
4 Download the SmartSystems bundle to your PC.
5 Double-click the SmartSystems bundle on your PC to extract the
update files to the software vault.
6 From the SmartSystems console, locate the bundles to install and
drag them to each mobile computer (or group in a folder) you want
to update. The SmartSystems console installs the update on your
mobile computers.
After the download is complete, your mobile computer begins the
update process and automatically performs a cold boot. The
computer then boots into a special Update Loader mode where the
computer has no network connections and is completely unusable.
